Treatment options to help you feel better:

1

Medications

Sinusitis medications can reduce swelling in the nose and provide relief. Combinations of these often need to be taken regularly in order to keep the sinus openings from swelling closed. They include: antihistamines, nasal steroid sprays, decongestants (OTC), mucus thinners, nasal irrigations, topical nose sprays, oral steroid pills and antibiotics (occasionally).

2

Sinus Rinse Treatment

Sinus rinses can temporarily improve symptoms and offer short term relief without the use of medications. Rinses thin out mucus and help flush it from the nasal passages.

3

Balloon Sinuplasty

Performed in-office, this balloon sinuplasty procedure is non-invasive and works by dilating any of the three larger sinus passages using a tiny balloon to open blocked sinus ducts.

4

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

A minimally invasive medical technique, this is an image-guided sinus surgery that enlarges the sinus openings to improve drainage from the sinuses into the nose.

Frequently Asked Sinus Questions

+ Does Endoscopic Sinus Surgery work?

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a method of opening up blocked sinuses to improve a patient’s breathing and sinus pressure. This treatment has been used since 1985 and has been clinically validated over the years as an effective treatment.

+ Does balloon sinuplasty work?

Clinical research confirms that Balloon Sinuplasty success rate is high – effectively restructuring the sinus openings to alleviate symptoms. More than 535,000 patients suffering from chronic sinusitis symptoms have been treated by ENT doctors using this procedure (Acclarent Procedural Data Collected on March 7, 2017).

+ How is balloon sinuplasty safe and less invasive?

Unlike traditional sinus surgeries, balloon sinuplasty does not involve the cutting of nasal bone or tissue – reducing the risk of damage and scarring. The balloon sinuplasty procedure is usually done in a doctor’s office under local anesthesia. It does not require uncomfortable packing of the nose following surgery.

+ How much does balloon sinuplasty cost?

The cost of the procedure depends on your insurance coverage. We encourage you to speak with your insurance company about this treatment.

+ What does recovery entail after balloon sinuplasty?

Balloon sinuplasty recovery is typically fast, but timing can vary. Most patients can return to work and normal activity within 3 days.

+ What are the side effects or risks of balloon sinuplasty?

There are few balloon sinuplasty risks but complications can occur, including tissue and mucosal trauma, infection, and in extremely rare instances, optic injury. Please talk with us about potential balloon sinuplasty side effects.

+ What can I expect after sinus surgery?

What to expect after sinus surgery:

Decreased sinus infections

Increased energy

Fewer headaches

Better sleep

Less fatigue

Easy breathing

What Our Patients are Saying About Us

"I went in for chronic sinus infections and found the underlying cause was a deviated septum. Got surgery two months later and eight weeks post op, and I haven't had any sinus infections. I can sleep with my mouth closed for the first time in 15 years, and it's helped dramatically reduce my snoring."

"Dr. Menachof performed surgery on our son and we are just noticing the results of the sinus surgery. Our son is breathing much better and we are excited to start on the allergy drops. The overall staff and Mr. Menachof were excellent to work with. I would highly recommend him for any sinus issues. "

~ Cara E,

"Dr. Menachof is absolutely wonderful to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an ENT doctor. I had a lot of problems with my sinuses that made me feel very self-conscious and embarrassed, just one of which was that I had a chronically runny nose. Dr. Menachof promised that he could help me, and he definitely kept that promise. After surgery I can breathe better than I ever have and Dr. Menachof helped me through the whole process. I very highly recommend him and his team."
